The idea is interesting, but if it is deemed to be a good idea, will it then 
happen? Do you have a patch or is it a mockup? Do you know anyone else who 
will write it? (my instant thought is how the actions would be merged from 
the different kparts into the combo box.)

I will, FWIW, comment when there's an indication it's not vaporware.
